    were about more than just religion

    of course but they also were about religion

    they weren’t the end of Christian religious violence

    I’d say they were the epitome of christian violence (against non-christians) and from then on it decreased overall

    nobody “learned their lesson” from them

    after enough of the desasters that were the crusades they stopped doing them altogether
